You're telling me you see 40+ movies a year and this one is better than most of them? What in God's name have you been going to see all this time?

There were obviously horses as well. Aside from the fact that a 7-hour walk isn't even that, between boats and horses they definitely could have made the trip much easier.

Per the article:
>the term was coined in 2007 by The Onion's "A.V Club" film critic Nathan Rabin, who found it grating, as he believed it to be the result of Wish-Fulfillment from stir-crazy writers. He explicitly compared it to the Magical Negro, in that a Manic Pixie Dream Girl exists to help the protagonist achieve happiness without ever seeking any independent goals herself. Rabin would later disown the term, because instead of creating awareness of the "lack of independent goals in female characters", the concept was misunderstood as a condemnation of ALL quirky and fun female characters.

The point is they weren't down yet and that it's possible for an operator error to cause that to happen again. Which is literally what almost happened to the OP.

The video evidence showed that the gates weren't all the way down.
>"On February 3, 2022, Anne Arundel Traffic Safety Investigators responded to the Maryland Mass Transit Administration Facility to review video footage from the above incident. During this review, it was learned the train entered the intersection while the roadway gates were in the process of lowering. Although the overhead alternating warning lights were functioning properly at the time of the crash, the roadway was not completely blocked by the gates when the crash occurred. Investigators are now also looking into the possibility of operator error on the part of the MTA train operator. The traffic Safety Section continues to investigate. Additional updates will be provided when available."

There was a young man who died earlier this year from a light rail train that hit his car when the barriers didn't come down. Be careful!

My biggest suggestion to those who have never been is just to book a half hour or an hour and go from there. It can get VERY pricey very quickly and once you are in a bay you can always just add more time in 15 minute increments as you see fit.
